Full Guitar Hero: Aerosmith tracklisting

By Dan Pearson Published 23 June, 2008

The Clash, The Cult, Run D.M.C., more.

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith's full track listing has been unveiled, and it's a bit more diverse than you might have expected. A bit.

Rather than trying to keep things pure by only including songs they recorded the band, whose greatest achievement is surely the birth of Liv Tyler, have included numbers from bands who've supported or worked with them closely in the past.

The 38 year rock veterans have dabbled in the world of gaming before, having appeared in 'Quest for Fame': an unsuccessful Guitar Hero forerunner for the PC and the excerable arcade title 'Revolution X'. Guitar Hero: Aerosmith will be the first game to try and give an overview of their rise to fame, and subsequent squatting atop the stadium rock pile, following them from tentative first performances at school functions to fully-fledged concerts in front of thousands.

A European release is currenlty set for for the 27th of July, with the U.S. following on the 29th and Australia on the 6th of August.

    Oh god no, sorry, but thank god it's NOT Queen. Not that I'm a huge fan of Aerosmith either...

  • DarkColouredCoffee #6 4 years ago

    Sigh I'll enjoy this when it arrives as a rental, however people should not buy this on principle of it being a stripped down version that should have been DLC. In an age where DLC is supposed to lead the way, Activision stick two fingers up to that by releasing this on a disk!

  • dsmx #7 4 years ago

    I like Queen but very few of their songs are suitable for guitar hero.

  • rhubarbandcustard #8 4 years ago

    Absolutely agree that this should have been released as DLC. Will not buy.

    My resolve will be less strong should the Guitar Hero Metallica game be true. The last two minutes on the final song on the Load album - The Outlaw Torn? - has the greatest mega-riff of all time. Kirk Hammett is a guitar wielding god of metal. Like Thor but with suspect hair.

  • cyacomini #9 4 years ago

    Boo, er, everything else.

  • Moz #13 4 years ago

    I guess for Aerosmith fan this works out cheaper then if it was DLC and is a very good deal for the Aerosmith fan looking for a second guitar too.

    But definitely not for me this one

  • MasterNameless #14 4 years ago

    Instead of releasing different versions of the game for eternity, which surely limits their market hugely, they should allow us to use our own music and have user created note charts, making them available online too... I'd even be happy to pay for such a service!

    U speak true dsmx. A while back myself and a friend were compiling list of songs we'd like to see in Guitar Hero and after listening to all 3 CD's of Queen Greatest hits I found there were only 2 maybe 3 songs that might work. In the end I put One Vision on my list. As much as I love Queen too, I don't think think they could sustain a whole Guitar Hero game, not enough Guitar heavy tracks.

    As for GH: Aerosmith, I can't say I've every been interested. I'm not an Aerosmith fan and the Aerosmith songs on GH2 & GH3 are amongst my least played. The non-Aerosmith tracks on this game also look pretty poor as well. I'm also very surprised to see Walk This Way in the bonus section, I'd have thought it'd be in the main set list being one of there most well known songs.

    GH: Rolling Stones, GH: Clash, GH: Cream; now they would rock!
    Or how about a little GH: Slade :D, ♪ Come on feel the noise ♪

    Aah, so good that I going to listen to it right now.

  • Darkedge #17 4 years ago

    "whose greatest achievement is surely the birth of Liv Tyler" Whose greatest achievement is to get parts in hollywood with only a smidgeon more acting ability than Hayden Christiansen. She's rubbish (and not that attractive either unless you really go for whiny crying women).

    Still this game looks. err. rubbish.

    Yes the cult are on it. A truly brilliant band.

  • JonFE #20 4 years ago

    rhubarbandcustard, I beg to differ...

    The lesser presence of Load, Re-Load and St. Anger, the better for Guitar Hero: Metallica, in my opinion. Which is why I expect to be disappointed with GH:M tracklist...

  • ParmaViolet #21 4 years ago

    'U speak true dsmx. A while back myself and a friend were compiling list of songs we'd like to see in Guitar Hero and after listening to all 3 CD's of Queen Greatest hits I found there were only 2 maybe 3 songs that might work'

    You might want to try going beyond their Greatest Hits - there's obviously a few on there, but they didn't really release a lot of the guitar heavy stuff on single. I'm far from a big Queen fan, but they'd make an interesting version of GH - Fat Bottomed Girls, Sweet Lady, Brighton Rock....it'd be great!

    In terms of Aerosmith - I really can't see the problem....there's some great tracks on there, just the fact that 'Sweet Emotion', 'Hard to Handle' and 'She Sells Sanctuary' are on there has me sold.

    Mind you, I've seen one forum poster respond to this with something like 'Aerosmith? WTF? - why couldn't they make GH: Jet?' - ermmm, pretty easy that one...they don't sell many records.

  • TONYgr #22 4 years ago

    well i have finished it on medium.the game is waaaay too easy.i hope that neversoft will make guitar world tour like gh3.thats all.

  • rhubarbandcustard #23 4 years ago

    JonFE - I am one of the older Eurogamer's and have been listening to Metallica since '85. Back in the day Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets and ..And Justice For All were mighty proud slabs of metal that were the original source of shock and awe.

    Those same albums today sound tinny and flabby and ever so slightly ridiculous.

    Music does not age gracefully. And neither, sadly, do I.

    Oh well. Bugger.

    JohnnyBrn - Paradise Lost are superb. I agree.

  • BOFH_UK #24 4 years ago

    'U speak true dsmx. A while back myself and a friend were compiling list of songs we'd like to see in Guitar Hero and after listening to all 3 CD's of Queen Greatest hits I found there were only 2 maybe 3 songs that might work'

    Oh come on, just off those three discs I can think of:

    Killer Queen (already been in GH granted), Fat Bottomed Girls, Don't Stop Me Now, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, Now I'm here, Play The Game (stunning guitar work in that song), Seven Seas of Rhye, We Will Rock You (bonus track), A Kind Of Magic, I Want It All (album version for preference), Innuendo, Breakthru, Headlong, Hammer to Fall, The Show Must Go On, One Vision, Driven By You, Princess Of The Universe

    That's 18 tracks just off the greatest hits. Add in stuff like Tie Your Mother Down, the fast version of Rock You, Brighton Rock, The Hitman, Gimme The Prize, I'm in love wth my car, Death On Two Legs, Let Me Entertain You, Sheer Heart Attack, The Prophet's Song, Keep Yourself Alive and the Battle Theme from Flash Gordon and you'd be up to 30 without any problems whatsoever.

    Then you've got the solo stuff (some of Brian May's work is, as you'd expect, perfect for Guitar Hero) and if even that's not enough, now they're touring with Paul Rodgers, you've got Free, Bad Company and The Firm tracks, some of which you could even have the Queen versions of from the last tour (or a specific re-record). Plus whatever's on the new album that's coming out in September. Have to be at least 40, more likely 50 tracks of material directly related to Queen available that'd be suitable for GH. And if you're going to look at bands that were an influence / have been influenced by them as has been done for this Aerosmith release forget about it.

    And looking through that list I realise I've not put Stone Cold Crazy, a track quick enough to be covered by Metallica on a regular basis.... And there, really, is the point. No, there aren't that many thrash metal tracks in their catalogue but the range of styles available would more than make up for it. Ironically it could be the best balanced track list since GH1 for the average gamer, although granted there may not be as much for the hardcore rythym gamer.

    Phew, sorry, didn't mean for that to be so long...

  • Eraysor #25 4 years ago

    I am amazed. This is the first GH that has literally no good songs on it whatsoever. Even the 80's one was tolerable.

    And I'm pretty sure they said there was going to be a White Stripes song in there, and there isn't.

  • r3n #26 4 years ago

    meh, apart from 1 Run DMC track there the rest is awful. Why did they choose Aerosmith for god's sake? I'd rather scratch my eyes out than listen to them. What a shame as I love GH

  • brooza #27 4 years ago

    @daz_john_smith: "I'm also very surprised to see Walk This Way in the bonus section"

    That's the original version, the Run DMC remix is in the main setlist (Tier 4: "International Superstars" (Moscow)"

  • JonFE #28 4 years ago

    rhubarbandcustard, like I said, I beg to differ. I'd argue that music *does* age gracefully, in the sense that great songs will stand the test of time, in spite of technology weaknesses and older practices.

    For me, anything Metallica offered up to and including their Black album is substantially better than their later studio albums. More creative, moving, influential, powerful, definitely "shock and awe" as you'd agree.

    I wouldn't let their "tinny and flabby" production tell me otherwise, but your mileage may vary :)

    EDIT: I spend too long writing my comment that farticusmaximus beat me to it (although I *do* love their Black album as well, no matter what Bob Rock did to them), but my point still stands.

  • TONYgr #30 4 years ago

    IF you are gonna do one classic rock guitar hero band DO LED ZEPPELIN!my opinion.

  • Arwin #31 4 years ago

    Hmm, me like anyway. But will it sell at full price, or half? Pricing like Sing Star without the mics would be a direct sale for me. Higher than that and I'd start doubting.

  • Tweakmonkey #32 4 years ago

    So is it weird that they released the full track list? Or was it leaked? When I'm playing through GH, half the fun is discovering the next set of tracks.

    And old Metallica > new Metallica :-)

  • cak #33 4 years ago

    > I like Queen but very few of their songs are suitable for guitar hero.

    Some song that come into my mind, in an almost chronological order:

    Modern Times Rock'N'Roll
    Brighton Rock
    Killer Queen
    Now I'm Here
    Stone Cold Crazy (*)
    Death On Two Legs
    Sheer Heart Attack
    It's Late (*)
    Tie Your Mother Down
    Bicycle Race
    Tear it Up
    Hammer to Fall
    Gimme The Prize
    Princes Of The Universe (*)
    I Want It All (*)
    Breakthru
    Chinese Torture

    (*) songs, btw, would be really awesome.

    Some other interesting tracks: Love Of My Life (live version would make for a nice diversion), God Save the Queen (perfect for a credit screen or something), Fat Bottomed Girls, I Was Born To Love You.
    Even some Brian May songs, like Driven By You or Last Horizon may be used.

    Not the best group for a GH game all in all, but not bad either, really.

  • mika1h #34 4 years ago

    Thank god they didn't include "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing".

  • Der_tolle_Emil #35 4 years ago

    I don't like Aerosmith at all and the other tracks are more than weak as well. I can't see this selling to be honest. With that track list it's aimed at a much smaller audience than the other GH titles and GH4 is right around the corner. Not to forget Rock Band is out already as well which makes GH titles look old anyway (not that they are bad games).

  • SpeedyThing #36 4 years ago

    Mostly good. Although I understand the omission of "Don't want to miss a thing" I'm a little surprised my the lack of "Cryin'" or "Dude looks like a lady".

    Will still be good though. Getting bored of GH3's tracks now. Oh, and a Queen one would be very good

  • madgerald Verified Studio Head of PR & Marketing, Colossal Games LTD #37 4 years ago

    @MilkYMoO "Yes the cult are on it. A truly brilliant band"

    Shame it is only one track - but a fine track indeed.

    Their most recent album Born into This would make excellent DLC on either RB or GHIII. A truly fantastic CD.

    @johnnybrn

    Nice to see a Paradise Lost fan on here - Gregor Mackintosh is indeed an underrated guitarist of the highest order.

    On a different note, why the hell haven't The Cult appeared in GH or Rock Band before now?

  • orac1971 #39 4 years ago

    wonder if this will be the first guitar hero on current gen. to hit the bargain bins fairly quickly - far too much Aerosmith on it.

  • ROCE1977 #40 4 years ago

    There are 31 tracks and 10 tracks you can by in the vault. Most of the Aerosmith tracks I've never heard of. But still some great tracks. The last track in the game is Kings and Queens.
    You can eve unlock RUN from RUN DMC to do walk this way with you. And there are also two versions of walk this way. THe RUN DMC version is on the set list and the version without DMC is unlockable. Why they didn't just make all this DLC is a joke.
    There is also a battle with Joe Perry which is unlockable too as a song.

    What crap. They're going to have to do much, much better than this to convince me to buy another GH game.

  • daz_john_smith #42 4 years ago

    I love Queen but think they would be much better as DLC for Rock Band or Guitar Hero World Tour (or as a stand alone expansion for Guitar Hero World Tour).
